Series 6

Permanent Maroon introduces a glorious transparency, a departure from the traditionally opaque nature of earth colours. While opacity serves its purpose, the inclusion of transparent options amplifies creative possibilities exponentially. Suited for watercolour-like techniques and ideal for glazing, this rich deep red shines best in undertones. It excels in shadowing brighter reds, adding depth to fabric folds. Combining with Venetian Red enriches the colour, while pairing with Cobalt Blue yields warm violets. Mixed with Yellow Oxide or Nickel Titanate, it produces a spectrum of golden earthy hues and subdued oranges—a palette reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh's preferences. Despite being a slightly pricier option among earthy colours, the artist is rewarded with a canvas of beautiful and nuanced mixtures.
